Sewer Cleaning & Camera Inspections

Cleaning Sewer Lines and Identifying Pipe Defects

In more severe cases, a backup may be caused by a broken pipe or other defect. In this situation, it is best to clean and inspect the pipe to determine the extent of the damage. If there is a break or another defect, The Sewer Pros can help explain to you what choices you have and what steps you need to take to solve the problem.

The Sewer Pros give dependable third-party evaluations. We do not fix breaks and therefore are not influenced to push for a sewer repair when none is needed. Our dual service is a good idea if you have had multiple backups or suspect a more severe problem.

A sewer inspection is specifically tailored to complement the home inspection process. The equipment that makes this possible is a flexible rod connected to a high-resolution camera which transmits video from the sewer to a monitor above. The videos and pictures of the sewer line are then prepared in a report that will be emailed to you and your agent.

A sewer inspection is a very important influence in your decision to purchase a home and can easily be scheduled either through your home inspector or by contacting us direct. Clay and cast iron piping was used extensively up into the mid-1970s for sewer lines. From then on most piping was converted over to PVC. The older rigid clay and cast iron pipes have a greater risk of breaks, cracks, offsets and root intrusion at the joints. Contact us for an estimate.

Benefits of Sewer Cleaning and Camera Inspection

• Broken pipe
• If you experience multiple backups within a short period of time, you may need a cleaning and camera inspection. We will start by cleaning the line to remove any obstruction and then perform a camera inspection to identify the condition of the line. Sometimes multiple backups are caused by a damaged sewer line and the only way to know for sure is to have the sewer line cleaned and then inspected.

• Possibly avoid repair
• Some companies will try to sell a repair if you have had more than one backup in the last year. In many cases, the reason for multiple backups is due to a poor cleaning job and not a damaged sewer line. Knowing this could save you thousands of dollars.

• Third-party evaluations
• If you have been told that a repair is needed due to multiple backups, we can give you an unbiased third-party evaluation since we do not do repairs.

• Next steps
• Whether we determine that your sewer is damaged or just requires maintenance, we will give you logical cost-effective recommendations to make sure sewer issues do not continue to cost you time and money.
